Whisky Dinner at Hopscotch (Oakland) with Steve Beal

Our next WoW whisky dinner is set for Monday Jan. 28 at Hopscotch in Oakland’s Uptown Neighborhood.  Hopscotch is an upscale diner serving seasonally inspired cocktails and regional American food with Japanese sensibility. Chef Kyle Itani, a second generation Japanese American was inspired to share his Japanese influence in cooking and love for spirits, especially Scotch, with his friends. Thus was conceived Hopscotch. Already packed every evening, Kyle and his partner Jenny have agreed to open their doors for us on their night off, Monday.

Whiskies will be presented to us by our beloved Keeper of the Quaich, Senior Master of Whisky, Chef, Writer, Minister, Spirits Judge, mixologist,  and best of all, one of the best people to enjoy a Scotch with, Steve Beal.
